Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 large eggs and 1 cup of kefir. Whisk them together until well combined. Next, add 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the batter is smooth. Ensure there are no lumps in the mixture. This will help achieve a light texture for your cake layers.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 16 cm (about 6.3 inch) round cake pan to prevent sticking. Pour the prepared batter into the pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your cake layers should be beautifully risen and set.
Step 3
While the cake is baking, you can prepare the cream. In a separate bowl, mix 380 grams of boiled condensed milk with 380 grams of high-quality sour cream. Stir until you get a smooth and creamy consistency. This cream will add a rich flavor to your cake.
Step 4
Once the cake layers are completely cool, carefully remove them from the pan. Place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of the cream over the cake.
Top it with the second layer of cake and again spread remaining cream on top. For an added touch, sprinkle with wafer crumbs to give the cake a delightful texture and appearance.
Step 5
Your Three Cups Cake is now ready to serve! Slice it up and enjoy this delicious, simple cake with family and friends.

Servings
There’s nothing quite like slicing into a beautifully baked cake surrounded by loved ones!

You can even sprinkle some chocolate shavings or fresh berries on top for a pop of color and flavor! Feeling fancy? Create a simple fruit compote to drizzle over each slice. Perfect for sunny picnics or cozy family gatherings, this cake will quickly become the star of any table! 🎉
Equipment
A large mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients smoothly. Make sure it's big enough to allow for some good mixing! Tip: Use a bowl with a spout for easier pouring.

Variations
If you’re looking to switch things up, check out these delightful variations! For a **gluten-free** option, use almond flour instead of regular flour; you’ll still enjoy a tender cake without the gluten. 🍰✨ And for our **vegan** friends, substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water, and swap regular yogurt for coconut yogurt. It’s just as moist and delicious, with no dairy involved! 🌱❤️
Faq
- What if my cake doesn't rise properly?
Ensure that your baking soda is fresh, and that your oven is at the right temperature. Proper mixing is also key, as it helps introduce air into the batter.
- Can I use different types of flour?
Yes, you can experiment with different flours such as whole wheat or gluten-free. Just keep in mind this may change the texture and flavor slightly.
- How can I make the cake more flavorful?
Try adding vanilla extract or citrus zest to the batter! Spices like cinnamon or nutmeg can also add a warm flavor.
- What’s the best way to store leftover cake?
Keep the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate it for longer freshness. Just make sure it's covered well!
- How do I know when the cake is fully baked?
A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached. If it’s wet with batter, give it more time!
- Can I freeze this cake?
Absolutely! Wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. It will keep for about 2-3 months. Just thaw and serve!
